WHY DID GOD DO IT?
MAN THAT IS BORN OF A WOMAN IS OF FEW DAYS, AND FULL OF TROUBLE---Job 14:1
Have you ever been asked as a believer or wondered personally, why God did certain things in Bible times and even now in our time, some of these things appeared to extremely contravene laid down spiritual and physical laws
He said `LET THERE BE´ and there was!
He says when you do things one way you shall reap this way
He says when you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the GOOD OF THE LAND!
He says, when YOU GIVE, IT SHALL COME BACK TO YOU, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER
He says, when you obey my commands, YOU SHALL ENJOY my blessings
This very Earth, He called into being, based on principles of the spoken word
Throughout the Bible, events, and situations show that He is a God of order and principle and that is why He is regarded as impartial and JUST; so what happened in these situations, you ask?
Hosea 1:2-2:7,
God told this prophet to go and get himself a prostitute and marry her! The Almighty did not stop at that, when she bore him children, specific names were told him to be given to these children (of course, not very nice names)
Yes God had a message to pass to the children of Israel and Judah but could it not have been done any other way?
WHY DID GOD DO IT?
Adam was created for God’s good pleasure, after all God knows the end from the beginning, He knew ahead that they would sin, WHY DID HE CREATE THEM AT ALL OR WHY DID HE NOT STOP THEM?
Why was satan thrown into this world as his punishment?
(Woe unto the inhabitants of the Earth!)
Could he not have been sentenced to an atmospheric island somewhere not being able to have contact with us?
Better still, sent right at the moment of sin to Hell fire straightaway, then we would not have so much agony, pain and anguish in the world and the church would not be under so much attack that even THE VERY ELECT ARE BEING DECEIVED!
We also would have been spared the confusion and hurt of seeing the master plan he has designed from long ago for mankind; that we even see daily unfolding would not have seen the light of day
Jesus Christ our Lord was born through a virgin birth, flesh and Spirit coming together to form flesh? (And Spirit?)
As we understand, what is flesh is of the flesh and what is spirit remains in the spiritual realm and the natural man cannot understand it
In addition He was sent as A MAN? Why another man when the first created man sinned without blinking an eye.
Is that why A MAN was not involved in His conception? But why the same gender? Why not this time as a woman? Do you wonder?
Or maybe the Almighty does not gamble and dabble in RANDOM SAMPLING, because the words of Jesus, His actions, His decisions, His beliefs, His ideologies contrary to traditions of men showed that he was no ordinary man and was not used to giving feeble excuses, lying or twisting the truth when it gets down to brass tacks in any situation that He found Himself, he said it as it is no matter whose ox is gored!
IS THAT A MESSAGE FOR THE MALE GENDER in character traits that have been inherited over generations and believed to be NATURAL but not godly? If Jesus could do it in the flesh, SO CAN YOU!
It’s all a matter of discipline and principles!
Adam was told to LEAVE AND CLEAVE! But I thought men were supposed to be the stronger gender, why did God not give Eve this instruction not to keep on HANGING ONTO Mummy’s APRON STRINGS!
After all she is the weaker sex.
God, called Abraham FRIEND;
What sort of relationship do you have with a friend; of course it is different from, son, or servant or man –after-my heart.
What qualified Abraham for this position? Was it the way he handled the situation when he was given a gift of a child after such a long time then he was told to sacrifice same after a while; but God knows the end from the beginning?
He knew that Abraham would not do it, after all He made him and knows every hair on his head by number and even knew him by name before he was formed in the womb
God is not partial!
Jonah was sent on an errand to Nineveh, he ran off to another direction Tarshish, because he knew God could touch the hearts of the people in Nineveh to change (and that good change eventually took place) and he also knew that the people there could harm him in the process of delivering the message, so why did God allow the events that led to Jonah being thrown into the raging sea and eventually swallowed and saved by a big fish?
These are a few out of so many.
At some point in our walk we shall meet challenges like this but we must learn to ignore ALL that we see, read or hear that seems contradictory to who God is, rather we just have to believe Him and hold unto His word as He has spoken it, YOUR WAYS ARE NOT MY WAYS, NEITHER ARE YOUR THOUGHTS THE SAME WITH MINE
There are so many questions that may never be fully answered here on Earth until we return to Him
Just focus on Jesus Christ, ask Him whenever you get to that point, if you do not receive an immediate answer, search deeper in His word, do not get distracted for he alone is the author and finisher of our faith
